Dokud vás nenajdeme – Anappara Deepa (2021)

Smog in the Indian metropolis looks like the breath of the devil himself. It burns the eyes, creeps into the nose and mouth, settles on the skin, blurs everything, and wipes the stars from the sky. But it can also be useful – when it provides cover for three children searching for a missing classmate. Nine-year-old Jai watches police reality shows far too often; he thinks he is smarter than his friend Pari (even though she has all A's) and that he is a better boss than his friend Faiz (even though Faiz already has a real job). When a classmate goes missing from school, Jai decides to use the investigative skills he has picked up from the show Police Patrol and sets off to search. With the help of Pari and Faiz, he ventures into the most dangerous parts of the Indian metropolis to uncover the truth: to a night bazaar and even to the train station at the end of the purple metro line. But the children continue to disappear, and the trio of slum detectives must face frightened parents, indifferent police officers, and soul-stealing djinns. And when losses occur even in their immediate surroundings, Jai and his friends realize that their lives will never be the same again. The global bestseller by the Indian writer and journalist has been translated into 22 languages.
